Birds of Belleplain - Thursday, April 30th, 2015

It was a nice day and we did hear a number of birds, but getting a good view was not easy. We got good views of a Summer Tanager, a Common Yellowthroat, White-eyed Vireo, Prairie Warbler, Orchard Oriole, and surprisingly, an Ovenbird! We also had nice looks at a perched immature Broad-winged Hawk.  Leaders: Shaun Bamford, Bert Hixon, and Karl Lukens.
